# Comments: Okay, my second AVM. I made it and as I made it I felt better and better about it, until I came to the end and I ended up with errors, bugs, glitches, rendering problems, and when those were SLIGHTLY overcome I realized that this may not be the sort of thing people want to see. Perhaps my mind is seeing them sing because I made it? I got over it kind of when my wife assured me it was much better than my first and it was pretty amazing, same as my best friend who reviewed it since I started.

I ended up with 180MB of shizza, and so with screwing with my compresors which I barely know how to use, I got it down to this mammoth allowed size. Please bare with it as I want everybody to see and compare it to my last. This is not action packed, this is a mix of what I thought was fun to do and what I thought would bring a sense of, 'Whoa, not bad for a newb' to mind.

The beginning opens up and I never touched it. With the idea of making this an action packed one, I assorted out the heavy flash scenes, and then I came to the singing and my next scene and realized Kadaj's lips moved well and defined enough to make me fall for it and it made me chuckle. So I went with it. I shortened the song by a minute and a half as she kept repeating the same lines and I wanted to save space and time. So I just went to the end where everything seemed to get really messed up.

YES I REALIZE THE END IS SUDDEN AND DUMB., What is the purpose to this? It flowed right with me, it didn't give you the end, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE END. So now you're saying, 'But what's the purpose of the AMV then?' For you to have fun and follow along some the scenes with the vocals I have implaneted on some of their lips.

It took me about 45 minutes each verse, making a total of 10+ man hours the past two days I have struggled with this. I hope you enjoy, I sweat this one out and I have to thank the many who have helped me. The first three who opinionated my first AMV have pretty much threw me 10 feet higher in my level of knowledge and I continue to thank them, as I dedicate it to them. For me this was fun and a long practice session for the new things I have learned.
I hope for you it's a short fun ride that you will harshly critique me on so I can get better.
